Process

Whether you are looking to move within your local market or move overseas Vine Consulting will ensure the process is a smooth one by being pro-active, informative and consultative.

Process

Success

Step 1

Ideally we get to meet you face to face. We think it’s important for us to meet you to understand what you are looking for and what is important for you in this process. We want you to meet us as well so that you can work out that we are the right people to represent you – we have no doubt you will. If logistically we can’t meet you, then we will turn to technology to make sure you know who you are dealing with.

Step 2

We are good listeners. We want to know what you want and also as important, what you don’t want. Once we know what you want we will act, using our specialist knowledge, to ensure you get to speak to the business right for you. We want to find the right company for you and therefore we are not just interested about making a placement if it’s not the right one for you.

Step 3

We don’t spray and pray. Once we have your consent to speak to clients we will move things forward but we won’t be doing anything until you give us the green light. Once we do have permission we will speak to clients to make sure they are clear on what you are looking for to ensure the meetings you have are effective.

Step 4

We will work at the speed you want us to. You are the person who dictates the process. We will work at the speed you want us to and if you want us to work quickly we will and we can turn processes around very quickly due to the strong relationships we have with our clients .

Step 5

Preparation is key. We will provide you with as much information as we can before your interviews but we can’t do it all so be prepared to do your research!

Step 6

We make sure we are speaking all of the way through the process to ensure that even when you have accepted the role you want, that everything goes to plan with your resignation. But it does not stop there, we pride ourselves on our follow up with you to make sure everything goes to plan. We also like to hear about how well everything is going so do keep in touch!

Our Team

We have relationships with major national, international and boutique brands in all of the regions we cover who would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Robin Clarke

Director

Robin has worked in recruitment since 2003 and within rec2rec in London since 2004.

Between 2007-2012 Robin was based in Sydney, Australia where he co-owned and opened the first international office for his previous business specialising in rec2rec – helping hundreds of candidates from the UK relocate to Australia and Asia and domestically assisting candidates within Australia move around the recruitment market.

On his return to the UK in 2012 Robin decided to launch Vine Consulting based in London to continue to offer recruiters the best overseas recruitment opportunities whilst also assisting recruiters move domestically around the London market.

Outside of work Robin enjoys spending time with his young family, friends and enjoys all sports, particularly football where he follows the fortunes of Tottenham Hotspur.

Best holiday destination ever
Hayman Island, Whitsundays, Australia

If I won a million pounds
Buy a Ferrari, a couple of holiday homes and donate the rest to the Alzheimer’s Society.

Best advice
Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up

Slogan for life
Success is never final and failure never fatal. It’s courage that counts – Winston Churchill

Book that moved me
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Biggest bugbear
People who moan but won’t do anything to change things

Party trick
I wish I had one!

All-time dream
Pulling on the lilywhite shirt of Tottenham Hotspur to play at White Hart Lane. The closest I’ve ever got is being mascot years ago!

At the weekend I love
Spending time with my young family, watching sport and catching up with friends.
